== Broadcast and syndication == Originally produced by [[20th Television]] on Fox, the series was in reruns on local affiliates for a few years, but has since become a longstanding mainstay on [[FX (TV channel)|FX]] and [[FXX]], which had been sister channels to Fox prior to [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|being acquired by]] [[The Walt Disney Company]]. In syndication, the series is distributed by [[Disney-ABC Domestic Television]]. In Canada, it was Simulcast on [[CBC Television]] during the entire run. Reruns have also aired on [[MTV2]], [[VH1]], [[NuvoTV]], [[Fusion TV]], [[BET]], and [[BET Her|Centric]], while the series previously aired on [[Aspire (TV network)|Aspire]] and [[TV One (American TV channel)|TV One]] as of September 2020. Unlike past runs on FX and the [[Viacom Media Networks]], the FXX cut of episodes are mostly uncut and censored. The music video parodies and spoken references to licensed songs have been reinstated, but the "Bolt 45" sketch, the "drop the soap" line, and the "Men on Football" sketch with the adlibbed lines about Richard Gere's and Carl Lewis's alleged homosexuality are still edited (though the facial ejaculation shot on "Men on Fitness" was reinstated), along with a line from the season five sketch "Fire Marshall Bill at the Magic Show" that makes reference to the [[1993 World Trade Center bombing]] (the missing line is, "That's what they said about the World Trade Center, son. But me and my friend Abdul and a couple of pounds of plastique explosives showed them different." Bill's laugh and his catchphrase "Lemme show ya somethin'" was also cut abruptly), due to the [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001 attacks]].{{citation needed|date=April 2020}} ''The Best of In Living Color'' aired on [[MyNetworkTV]] from April 16 to June 18, 2008. Hosted by David Alan Grier, it was a retrospective featuring classic sketches, along with cast interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. The show aired on Wednesdays at 8:30 pm Eastern/7:30 pm Central, after MyNetworkTV's sitcom ''[[Under One Roof (2008 TV series)|Under One Roof]]''.
